24th March 2026 Hiking - Walking: Above Talloires and Mesnil St. Pierre Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Tuesday 24th March – walks and travel *** - Above Talloires and Mesnil St. Pierre – sunny. Had a good night in our spot high above Talloires with stunning views of Lac Annecy, today is the start of our journey home but were in no hurry to leave so read for a bit, had breakfast, then we knew from a previous visit there is a chapel just up the road with amazing all-round views s we drove up to it! The narrow lane is very steep but we made it to the small carpark with a massive snow-capped mountain behind where we have snowshoed in the past. The hermitage is in an amazing place with breathtaking scenery with the most vibrant yellow forsythia in the garden being tended by a very friendly gardener who we chatted too, he said that it was going to snow again tomorrow and it is windy and cool back in England, so that’s something to look forward too! We walked the short distance to a belvedere where you could see Annecy in the distance and back to the van to start the long trip home! We set Mags phone for Bellegarde the scenic route where we stopped at a supermarket for more cake and some yummy prawns, we know how to live. We continued onto Nantua and had lunch at a picnic bench overlooking the small Lac surrounded by massive rocks, just brilliant in the warm sunshine watching loads of old boys fishing in boats! Then up and over the last of the mountains before reaching the toll motorway where Mag did a couple of hours driving before we stopped for a quick cuppa and cake! I drive the last hour, the toll motorways are really good and you can make quick progress cruising along at 75)80 mph! We then turned off the motorway just before Troyes, it only cost 26 Euros and headed to the Lac we stopped on our first night. We arrived just as the sun disappeared behind a bank of cloud but still managed a quick walk out to the end of the breakwater, even spotted a kingfisher! Then we drove a little further to a little carpark surrounded by trees, seeing a deer by the Lac enroute. I just had enough time to whizz over to the Lac to catch the sky turn red, top end to a good days traveling and we are now only 4 hours from Calais where it is supposed to be windy so it’s a good thing we are on the shuttle!
